Arcona in the galaxy[]

During the Clone Wars, an male Arcona bounty hunter named El-Les assisted in the training of new clone troopers for the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic.[1]

A green Arcona was present at an event of Riot Racing on Serolonis around 19 BBY. They were killed by a stray blaster bolt when one of the racers accidentally fired into the crowd.[12]

Close to 20 years later, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, a brown-skinned Arcona named Hem Dazon lived on Tatooine, where he had become stranded after spending all his money on salt and juri juice.[4] The Arcona Boggs Triff led a mob on the moon of Nar Shaddaa until he was hunted down by IG-88B.[13]
